Publisher's summary

What's the best way to purge an unfaithful husband?

Become a spy for British Intelligence, of course.

Desperate to get out of London, and determined to help the war effort and stop thinking about her philandering husband, Fiona Figg volunteers to go undercover.

At Ravenswick Abbey a charming South African war correspondent has tongues wagging. His friends say he's a crack huntsman. The War Office is convinced he's a traitor. Fiona thinks he's a pompous prig.

What sort of name is Fredrick Fredricks anyway?

Too bad Fiona doesn't own a Wolseley pith helmet.

At Ravenswick a murderer is on the prowl, and it's not just the big-game hunter who's ready to pounce.

Just okay

After the hype I thought I would enjoy listening to the whole series. Halfway through this book I knew I wouldn’t. Hope you enjoy it more than I did.

Pleasantly surprised

I was prepared not to like the narration after reading some reviews but I found only one problem with it. Sometimes I just couldn’t understand it. The story was intriguing, even though I usually don’t enjoy books that feature a woman dressed as a man. I will listen again at some point which I consider the mark of an enjoyable audio book.

Fun, fast paced historical cozy mystery

Outside of some pronunciation errors, I liked the narrator.

The story moves along nicely and I’m curious to hear where Fiona goes next!

The Mysterious Affair at Styles retold

After recognizing the plot from the classic Agatha Christie novel early in the book I skipped to the last 2 chapters to assure I really did recognize the plot. I’m disappointed.

Good enough mystery, horrible reader

The story and characters are quite good but the read is the worst I think I have dver heard. I thought initially she might be trying to emulate low class English people who don’t know common French expressions. But she even mispronounced “wan.” It quickly was “fingernails on the chalkboard” painful to finish.

Story is not bad

I can't get past the narration, it was so monotone, I will buy the book but I won't listen to another story read by Niki Delgado... sorry...

I wanted to like it...

The premise of the book is a good idea but as I listened to more and more of the story it became very clear that it is merely a facade. The author took the first Hercule Poirot mystery by Agatha Christie, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, and tweeked it to her needs. She introduces a female protagonist who has just as many abilities as the great Poirot, yet she seems to acquire them in a miraculously short period of time and amazingly, has a photographic memory.
I'm all for the amazing investigator who has propensities for solving puzzles none can understand but I need to at least be able to believe it a little bit.
This story felt far too slip-shod to be believed, in large part as it wasn't her own work. And that, is the true crime.
I will not be reading more of this author.

An exciting book

In the beginning I wasn’t too sure, but soon got caught up in the excitement.

Interesting

It was more like a Murder She Wrote mystery. The ending was a little blah.

Pleasantly surprised!

I was eager to start this series. It took me a bit to get into it but it was very engaging and entertaining. The war continues and spies abound!
